I 1. ti The Hartford Courant WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 28, 1962 With Malice Toward None By BILL LEE Sports Editor SARASOTA. -On a day the Minnesota ingion Senators) had come over from Sax. Mr. Sabath.A.

Mele, their manager was Nobody call Mr. Mele Sabath. The old outfielder is known to one and all as Sam. to Sabath for luck. He is going to need more than a little of that commodity if the Twins arc going to finish somewhere near top of the second division.

They can't reasonably aspire to much more than that. You would think that a team having Pedro Ramos and Camilo Pascual to pitch for it and Harmon Killebrew to drive runs across in big clusters would have more hope than exists around the camp, But this was a chronic seventh or eighth place ball club when Calvin Griffith removed it from the Washing. ton scene and took it out to Minnesota. where, presumably, the public would put up with anything for the sake of membership in the major leagues. The club isn't much better for the transplanting.

Pascual and Ramos did not pitch as effectively as they might have last year and Twins (formerly WashOrlando to play the White not optimistic. Scranton and Red Sox Maybe he should go back ONE From FLORIDA Killebrew is all attack. They're 1 still trying to find the best place to hide him when Minnesola is in the field. WHERE TO PLAY HARMON Killebrew last year hit 46 homers ain't many boys do that good, as say. Surest thing a man could Killebrew will he in the batting make it.

Whether he plays first is all that has to he decided. Manager Mele perks up when players in camp. He hopes George and Don Mincher, a tall bespectacled early to say. If both make the position. KILLEBREW? and knocked in 122 runs.

They the Ring Lardner characters would predict in spring training is that order as many days as he can base, third or an outfield position he talks about some of the young Banks makes it at third base youth. at first, but it is too club, Killebrew will play an outfield Banks had 30 home runs with a .296 batting average at Bing. hamion and Mincher. wearing glasses for the first lime, had 24 home runs and a .256 average at Buffalo. "lle has good power." Mele explained, "but we've got to try to improve his hitting for a better average.

Besides Banks and Mincher. Mele thinks an inficlder named Bernie Allen looks promising and he likes rookie pitchers George Maranda and Joe Bonikowski. His starting staff will be Pascual, Ramos, John Kralick, a left hander who won 13 games for the Twins last year, Jim Kaat and I probably Don Lee. There will be a mild battle for the fifth starting spot. Veteran Ray Moore, so gray he looks more like a manager or coach than an active player, is the top bullpen operative.

Mele likes what he has seen this spring of Danny McDevilt, who learned the pitching trade with the Dodgers and Yankees. MELE BROODS OVER SOME REGULARS when he thinks of some of his regulars. "Bob Allison should hit better than he does," Sam will tell you, "and Pascual and Ramos should win more than they do, Pascual walks many batters and too many of those he puts on manage to score. Ramos throws too many home run balls." Allison, Killebrew and Len Green will make up the outfield. Big Jim Lemon, who hit only .258 last season, has been pushed aside.

"I've got to have Green in the lineup," Mele points out. "He led his club in base hits last year." A glance al the record book reveals that Green made 171 hits and scored 92 runs, only two fewer than Killebrew. He is not much of a home run hitter but a better rounded ball player than a lot of muscle men. With Earl Battey, one of the game's better catchers and hitters working behind the plate, and a carload of power in the outfield the Twins should be better than they are. Mele broods HARMON KILLEBREW John Goryl and Billy Martin, both with considerable big league experience, lend bench strength to the infield and Bill Tuttle, a talented defensive outfielder, will be handy with the glove.

A year ago, the Twins finished seventh, 38 games off the pace and five behind the sixth place Boston Red Sox. you finish in the first division?" "We could," Mele said glumly, "but a lot of guys will have to have big years if we do." It's a strange ball club that should do a lot better than it does. but I had the feeling that Sam Mele is not optimistic, and when a manager feels that way in the spring, it is not a favorable omen for his team. Basketball's Rules Makers Ponder Elimination of Disqualifying Fouls LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI) The National Basketball mittee of the United States and Canada made only four minor, changes in the rules of the game for next season Tuesday, but during ing the coming year will give serious thought to eliminating the disqualification of players on personal fouls.

Several members of the committee. led by University of Kentucky Coach Adolph Rupp, made very strong pitch for a rule change that cither would increase the number of personal fouls quired to sideline a player, or do away with "fouling out" altogether. Committee, secretary Cliff gan said the group felt the matter hasn't been studied enough, and referred it to the research committee. It's very likely, he said, that next season some major ence will be asked to experiment with the proposal, just as the Big Ten two seasons ago experimented with the offensive rule that ultimately was adopted season just closed. White Sox Could Go With Boost From 1 Lady Luck-Lopez By BILL LEE Sports Editor SARASOTA, Fla.

One of the leads in the musical "My Lady" had a rousing number "With a Little Bit 0' Luck." Al Lopez believes that with a little bit of luck, the White Sox might go all the way. It could be that his Chicago team is entitled to a better break. Last season, Gus Wynn; a paragon of right-handed pitching strength, didn't pitch after July 22. Maybe the Yankees might not have won had they been without Whitey Ford that long. Another snub from Lady Luck came when Cal McLish was felled by a double hernia, Calvin Coolidge McLish has been around and about for 18 years.

Three years ago he won 19 games for Cincinnati after a 16-game season the year before in Cleveland. Even with the crippling illness, McLish managed to win ten for the White Sox last season. Surgery has corrected his difficulty and he now claims to be as fit as Jack Benny's fiddle on a concert night. Arm Trouble Early Wynn, with an earned! run average of 3.52 for 21 seasons in the big show, might, easily win a dozen games if he can keep free of arm trouble. Another disaster.

of last season might make a vast difference if it can be avoided this time. The White Sox fell flat on their faces when the starting gun sounded a year ago and it took them a long time to recover. The club stumbled along in eighth, ninth and tenth 'spots for 47 days. Did Senor Lopez have any explantion for this staggering start in 1961? "I've been mulling it over in my mind all winter," Al said, "and I've finally reached a conclusion. You know last spring we had the best weather I can ever remenber in spring training.

We played just about every game and the players had more hot than they ever knew before at this time of year. When the season opened, they were all in such great shape that I think they began getting the feeling that they should relax against the long season that lay ahead. They just got into a bad state of mind that went from bad to worse." Winning Margins The White Sox indeed started lamely and stayed that way a long time. They had losing months in April, May, June, July and August. They then got straightened out and had winning margins in the last six weeks.

They went from seventh to 10th in 50 days of the season but they finally spent 51 days in fifth spot and 45 in fourth. Juan Pizzaro, after several years of false starts that caused the Braves to quit on him, had a dandy 1961 season and could be top drawer from here on in. "We didn't do anything mystifying with Pizzaro except give him a chance to pitch," Lopez said. "Ray Berres worked on his delivery to improve his control, but that's all. Pizzaro has confidence now." The White Sox won the flag in 1959 on defense and speed.

Then they succumbed to the home run fever. Minnie Minoso and Roy Sivers didn't help much with their slugging. Now these big hitters a are gone and the White Sox have relurned to the balanced pattern that gave them the pennant. The old formula may make them a tougher team to beat than they were last season, Two Marquette Cagers Draw Suspensions MILWAUKEE UR Three Marquette University students two of them members of the basketball team were suspended temporarily Monday after the trio told police they entered a school building to get a copy of an examination. Hartford High Trackmen 'Win' STORRS (Special) -Discovery of an ineligible Norwich Free Academy entrant has resulted in a Hartford High victory in the recent' Eastern Sectional indoor track meet here.

The original result saw Hartford and New Britain tie for the with 24 points each. Norwich's winning high jumper, Chuck Groce, was reported to be found ineligible because of a transfer rule according to Howard Dickenman, NFA athletic director, Ray Parker of Hartford who had tied for second. thus shared the first place deadlock in that event. The new result gives the Owls a winning 25 points to 24 for the Hurricanes. Manchester moved up to a third place tie with East Hartford at 14.

Slight Improvement Shown by Seriously Hurt Cuban Fighter Warriors Top Celts, Tie Series PHILADELPHIA (P) The Philadelphia Warriors, getting outside shooting from rookie substitute York Larese and. a strong performance by Wilt Chamberlain, rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat Boston, 113-106, Tuesday night and even their National Basketball Association Eastern Division final playoff series at one game each. The best-of-seven series now moves to the Boston garden Wednesday night. Trail By Six The Warriors trailed by six points as the fourth quarter started. Early in the final period Boston hiked the lead to 11 points at 91-80.

But with Larese and Chamberlain hitting, Philadelephia finally pulled to a 102 tie with 3:56 left in the game on Chamberlain's field goal. Boston gained the lead a fw seconds later on Tom Hinsohn's free throw. But Wilt's second straight field goal with 3:37 left put the Warriors ahead for good. Boston lost a good opportunity to close the gap when Sam Jones missed two straight fouls and Bob Cousy latr mised two in a row, Chamberlain, who was held to 33 points in Boston's opening victory over the Warriors last Saturday, scored 42 points Tuesday night, 16 of them coming in the fourth quarter. Larese, who played for Warriors' Coach Frank McGuire at North Carolina, was sent in in the fourth quarter to boost the Warriors' outside shootring.

He came through with eight key, points. The Warriors also got a big life from another guard, Guy Rodgers. Rodgers, who was only able to make one field goal against Boston in the first game, came through with 22 points, his highest output in any playoff game this season. Heinsohn led the Boston scorers with 24 points, followed by Cousy with 19 and: Frank Ramsey and K. C.

(A The following are partial texts of the reports submitted to the state athletic commission by officials at the Benny Paret-Emile Griffith fight in Madison Square Garden Saturday night: Referee Ruby Goldstein: "In the Griffith-Paret fight, I scored the first 5 rounds for Emile Griffith. Paret has often been known to be a fighter who in the boxing jargon seems to "come on.

Many times in some fights he looked like he was in trouble but through his courage and stamina, he would start to take the play away. from the other and come on to win the fight. "The other night it almost looked like a repetition of some of his previous fights because after losing the first 5 rounds, he came on and cleanly knocked down Emile Griffith. "Paret dropped Griffith and Griffith seemed hurt and held on for the remainder of the round without doing anything himself. This pattern followed for about the next four or five rounds in which Paret won three.

of those rounds, and Paret. seemed to be fighting his normal. fight. But on again from the 10th round, Gritfith came on and took command, However, while Emile Griffith easily won the first 2 minutes of the 10th round, Paret once again. finished stronger in the remaining part of the round; "The eleventh round was a normal round in which I gave one point to Emile Griffith, I gave him the one point because while it was not a round, it was obvious that Griffith won that round.

Although Paret lost the round, it was a routine round, in which he lost it but was in no serious trouble. "In twelfth round, Emile Griffith forged right ahead and starting to back Paret up against the ropes, a position where Griffith does some of his best work in close. He was throwing some good punches and. with Paret not having any room to back up. because he was practically against the ropes, he soon got hit a punch and 'his head remained a little bit outside 'the ring ropes.

The remainder of his body was always twice "Hold it. Hold it!" 'This is just, simultaneously with my in the ring. "From long experience in boxing I have seen on numerous occasions boxers deliberately their heads a little out of the ringing and. this sometimes can be as sort of a means of avoiding getting hit cleanly: "Now at the time Griffith. was throwing quite a few his punches but Paret seemed to get hand up and block a number of them, and as we say in the boxing, business "roll" with a couple of them, and thought this possibly was his strategy to roll his out head this back posi- in tion and get the ring.

observed that twice he got his head back into the ring but again Griffith started throw uppercuts and in the attempts to avoid getting "hit with full force by. these uppercuts, he. Paret, once: or twice stuck his head out of the ring. I had my eyes glued on: the action at all times. and all this sort.

Two goals while New York had an extra player and the superb goal-tending of Johnny Bower made the difference for the Leafs, who finished second in the regular National Hockey League season, 21 points ahead of fourth place New York. Dave Keon, Red Kelly, Tim Horton, and George Armstrong scored for the Leafs, who had won seven straight games without a loss against the Rangers at Toronto. Horton's goal, at 14:42 of the second period, was the eventual winner boosting Toronto's lead to 3-1. Armstrong got the insurance goal with 41 seconds left, firing into an open net after the Rangers pulled Goalie Gump Worsley to get an extra attacker on the ice.

Earl Ingarfield and Ken Schinkel scored for the Rangers, both in the second period, Between Blue Lines This was the first meeting of the two clubs in cup play in 20 years and the fans went home muttering to themselves. Neither team could mount much of an offensive and, at times, play ranged between the blue lines. The Leafs never were behind and their first two goals. by Keon and Kelly, could almost. be classed as gifts.

Schinkel was the unwilling goat on Keon's goal and player-coach Doug Harvey, who didn't play up to his all-star form, was in the wrong position at the right time for Kelly's second-period goal that put the Leafs ahead 2-0. Schinkel, trying to clear the puck, put it instead on Keon's stick and the sophomore rammed it past Worsley for the first Toronto goal. Kelly's shot caromed into the net past the Ranger goalie after hitting Harvey's skate. Canadiens 2, Hawks 1 MONTREAL, UP Frustrated for two periods by the acrobatics of goalie Glenn Hall, the Montreal Canadiens broke open for two goals by Dickie Moore and Jean Beliveau, Tuesday night to defeat the Chicago Black Hawks, 2-1 and take a 1-0 lead in their best-of-7 semi-final Stanley Cup playoff series. The Hawks, who dethroned the Canadians last year after Montreal had won the cup five years in a row, were held completely in check until Stan Mikata drilled the puck past Jacques at! 18:06 of the final period.

Through the first two periods, Hall was a tower of strength for the Hawks. He stopped 10 shots in the first period and 15 more in the second. Many of them appeared to he heading straight into the net until he came out of nowhere to make the stops. But at 1:32 of the third period, Moore grabbed passes from JeanGuy Talbot and Phil Goyette and drilled home a 25-foot blast from the left circle. It went into the upper left-hand corner of the net.

With the Hawks a man shy, the Canadiens' power play clicked at 5:38, Beliveau was standing in front of the goal when Tom Johnson took a long shot from the right point. Beliveau deflected the puck into the throwing my arms around Emile Griffith and restraining him from throwing any further punches. "I fully believe that I took the best judgment I know how in stopproper action nd acted in the ping the fight right then and there. "I don't believe anybody had the foresight to expect that Paret would collapse when I terminated the bout." Judge Frank Forbes: "It is my opinion that it was an odd fight for the simple reason of the pattern displayed. For the first 5 rounds Paret was ineffectual because constantly Griffith was beating him to the punch.

For that reason, I gave the first 5 rounds to Griffith, on top of which Paret took considerable punishment. "In the sixth round, the pattern suddenly changed when a left hook by Paret floored Griffith and definitely hurt him, but being near the end of the round, he managed to weather it. "Paret continued his attack in the succeeding round (7th). Then in the eighth round, the pattern changed again as Griffith again began to out-punch him. This continued through to about the 10thround.

When Paret again began to assume an aggressive part but was then hurt by Griffith's punches toward the end of that round. the eleventh round, Griffith continued to press the fight with not much resistance from Paret but Paret still seemed to be in fairly good shape. As Paret is known to be a "cutie" with great recuperating powers he still remained a dangerous foe. "The twelfth round started with both exchanging blows until Griffith's right hand punch drove him into the corner. "Griffith then pressed the attack but there was no difference in Paret's attitude as he was in the corner on the ropes still taking the punches with no physicial effect as he has been doing throughout the fight.

The referee jumped in to stop the fight. and then. Paret "I think the referee exercised good judgment in his performance as there had been. no indication until that moment that Paret was unable to defend Dr. Alexander Schiff, ringside.

physician in charge, agreed with Forbes' version. He said: "There was no indications durthe contest that Paret was until the time that the referee stopped the contest and 'he knocked out." Drs. Ira' A. McCown, commission medical director and Marvin. A.

Stevens, chairman of the medical advisory board, said that all of the required medical standards had been- complied with. Bill Newell Gets Fairfield U. Award FAIRFIELD M- -Fairfield Univerity's championship basketball team received Tuesday night two trophies. during special ceremonies in Loyola Hall. They were the Eastern College Athletic Conference's college, and the Tri-State League's championship trophies, Coach George Bisacca's Slags compiled a 194 record.

Bill Newell, assistant sports editor of The Courant received the Fairfield University award in recognition of his college basketball coverage. Harold Ogden, of The Times, also was honored with an award for his coverage. NEW YORK, (UPI) Doctors at Roosevelt Hospital announced Tuesday night that there is "very slight improvement" in the condition of Benny (Kid) Paret, who is fighting for his life after last Saturday night's savage beating at the hands of Emile Griffith in their welterwieght title fight, Harold G. Petersen, director of public interest for Roosevelt Hospital where Paret has been in coma since Saturday night, said, however, that the 25-year old Cuban boxer "still remains critical." "His coma has lessened," said Petersen in a hospital bulletin issued at 9:25 p.m., EST. "Paret is making purposeful movements with his arms.

His condition, however, still remains critical." It was the first official statement from a hospital official that Paret might survive the brain injuries which he received when he was battered into a helpless hulk at 2:09 of the 12th round of their scheduled 15-round title bout at Madison Square Garden. NEW YORK (UPI)-While Benny (Kid) Paret's wife watched little signs she hoped meant the injured boxer is gaining in his fight for life, the New York State Athletic Commission Tuesday released a report which defended referee Ruby Goldstein. Goldstein had been criticized for not stopping the bout sooner when Paret was knocked out by Emile Griffith in their world welterweight championship match here Saturday night. Paret has been in a coma and close to death ever since. But the commission report said that Goldstein acted good judgment in stopping this contest when he did." The commission also declared that physical examinations had shown Paret condition to be for "in excellent.

physical test." Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, who had demanded the report from the commission, released it to the press in Albany, N.Y., and commented only, "I and my staff are giving full consideration to the report." At Roosevelt Hospital where Paret was in his third day of unconsciousness since the title bout at Madison Square Garden, Mrs. Lucy Paret claimed to notice little movements that could show some improvement in her husband's condition. "He tries to touch my face, and he holds my hand tight," said the tear-streaked Mrs. Paret.

"He also seems to know when I call his name. He keeps trying to open his eyes but they open only a little bit." Discount Report Hospital officials however, discounted. Mrs. Paret's. hopeful They admitted that Paret's "'reflexes have, become somewhat stronger." But they said there was "no medical significance" in this sign, and said there is no change" in his condition.

The New York commission report, however, did not assess any specific blame for the injury to Paret. Although middleweight champion Gene Fullmer, 1 who gave Paret a severe beating in bout three months ago, has stated Paret must have been in a weakened condition after that fight, the New York commission reported: "As it appears from the report of our medical department and our physician, Benny Paret was in excellent physical condition for this contest." The commission defended its selection of the veteran Goldstein as referee, pointing out he "has had over 30 years of experience in boxing, including 20 years of experience as a professional referee, and he has officiated at a great many world championship I professional boxing contests." The report said, "his reputation, ability, and integrity above reproach." Goldstein's Action Defended Goldstein's actions were defend. ed in the report by both judges of the fight, Frank Forbes and Tony Rossi. Forbes said that, until the sudden explosive moment of the knockout, there "had been no. indication until that moment that Paret had been unable to himself." Rossi said, "I think the referee jumped at the right time to stop the fight when Paret could not defend himself." Exhibition Baseball: The most obvious rule change for next year makes it a violation with loss of the ball as the penalty for a player holdthe ball to swing his elbows excessively.

This often happens when a player comes down with a rebound and seeks to clear space for himself so he can dribble or pass the ball. If the player makes contact, it will be a personal foul just as it has been, but no official can call violation even without contact. Second Change A second change will require a player throwing the ball in out of bounds or against the back directly to a player on the court, not to a player who also is out of bounds or against the back of the backboard. The case book of play tions published by the rules commitice was made an official part of the rules, and the rule on correction of errors clarified to provide that errors made by officials while the clock is stopped must be corrected before the clock starts or be ignored.
